I walked into the grocery store, not really wanting to buy anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly — the pain of losing my        was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet       . He often came with me, and always bought me yellow roses.
Standing        the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak        my husband used to love it.        a woman came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks, dropped them in her basket,       , and then put them back. She turned to go and once again        for the pack of steaks. She saw me        her and she smiled. “My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they are so expensive.”
“My husband        away eight days ago,” I told her, and        to control the sadness in my voice, “Buy him the T-bone steaks. And        every moment you have together.”
      by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away       . But several minutes later she came towards me again,        a package in her arms. She was        the brightest smile I had ever seen.
As she       , I saw what she held. “These are for you,” she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses        for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.
Looking down at the roses, I wondered        she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so       . I wasn’t alone. There were        many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.
